Cannot find module 'glob' in newly generated project

Seeing an issue with a newly generated project:

$ ng build
Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.

Mac OSX El Capitan
Angular CLI Version: latest master e5237f2
Node: 4.4.2
NPM: 2.14.21

Repro steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/angular/angular-cli.git
$ cd angular-cli
$ git checkout e5237f2f4f2cd040d493e30b647ee7343d6938bc
$ npm i
$ npm link
$ cd /tmp
$ ng new ngclitest
$ cd ngclitest
$ ng test  # shows error
$ ng build # shows error

Workaround:

$ cd ngclitest # inside newly built project
$ npm i glob
$ ng test  # no error
$ ng build # no error

glob was a dev dependency but has been moved to be a full dependency. This will be in the next release, you can find the correcting commit here

I have that commit, but the error still seems to be occurring.

It is as if ng is trying to import from the local working directory in the new project, rather than from angular-cli's installed dependencies.

[Brocco]

In your steps above you have the commands you were running, so you're using a local version of angular-cli, but you are not telling that repo to use that local version:

$ git clone https://github.com/angular/angular-cli.git
$ cd angular-cli
$ git checkout e5237f2f4f2cd040d493e30b647ee7343d6938bc
$ npm i
$ npm link
$ cd /tmp
$ ng new ngclitest
$ cd ngclitest

# this is the step you're missing
$ npm link angular-cli
$ ng test  # shows error
$ ng build # shows error

[cgmartin]

Aha! I did not expect that the globally installed (linked) command would require from the local project dependency context. That seems odd to me, but thank you!

[cgmartin]

On second thought, I understand the convenience/utility of managing the version of angular-cli within each project by way of calling the globally installed ng bin. Carry on. :)
